Maintain knowledge about area resources and their capabilities and capacities as well as various types of service providers available. Ensure appropriate arrangements for post-hospital care will be made before discharge and work to avoid unnecessary delays in discharge.
Integrate patients' goals, the health care team's assessment, risks and available resources in order to develop and coordinate a successful transition plan.
Engage in clear communication with the patient/member/caregivers as well as the interdisciplinary care team in order to develop discharge plans.
Actively collaborate with the attending practitioner, caregivers, and other members of the multidisciplinary team to coordinate an individualized plan of care.
Incorporate discipline-specific recommendations, test results, outstanding orders into discharge plan and monitor/revise and respond to the progression of discharge milestone.
Serve as a contact between hospitals and post-hospital care facilities as well as the physicians who provide care in either or both of these settings.
Recognize and demonstrate shared accountability in development of a discharge plan with the patient/member/caregiver as well as with team members to ensure optimal outcomes.
Advocate on behalf of patient/family/caregivers for services access and for the protection of the patient's health, well-being, safety, and rights.
Manage cost of care with the benefits of patient safety, clinical quality, risk and patient satisfaction to provide recommendations and decisions that ensure optimal outcomes.
Provide staff orientation and mentoring as appropriate.
